Overview
- iOS 16.7.14 is now available for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X to fix a mobile network issue that blocked calls to 000 in Australia.
- Apple had paused select legacy iOS rollouts last week and issued a Telstra carrier settings update as a temporary workaround before this permanent fix.
- iPadOS 16.7.14 was released alongside the iPhone update for older iPads affected by the related connectivity changes.
- Apple also pushed macOS 11.7.11 and watchOS 10.6.2/9.6.4/6.3.1 to extend certificates for device activation, iMessage, and FaceTime through January 2027, with no new CVEs listed.
- As part of routine rollout control, Apple stopped signing iOS 26.2 and several older builds, blocking downgrades from iOS 26.2.1 and closing older firmware paths on legacy devices.
